Ingredients

65g of Dutch-processed quality cocoa powder
5ml of baking powder
1 pinch of sea salt
100g of good-quality chocolate chunks, 70-75% cocoa solids, roughly chopped

Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan/200°C/400°F/Gas 6.

Step 2

Grease a baking sheet with a little butter and dust lightly with flour.

Step 3

Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, chocolate and pistachios in a bowl.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the flour mixture until it forms a stiff dough. Place the dough onto the baking sheet and press into a 30cm x 10cm rectangle shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack to room temperature.

Step 6

Slice into thick fingers and serve with coffee or gelato.
